Inner Automorphism - Lie Algebra Case

Lie Algebra Case

An automorphism of a Lie algebra is called an inner automorphism if it is of the form Adg, where Ad is the adjoint map and g is an element of a Lie group whose Lie algebra is . The notion of inner automorphism for Lie algebras is compatible with the notion for groups in the sense that an inner automorphism of a Lie group induces a unique inner automorphism of the corresponding Lie algebra.

Famous quotes containing the words lie, algebra and/or case:

    There will be better days when I am gone
    And healing pools where I cannot be healed.
    Fragrant stars will gleam forever and ever
    Above the place where I lie desolate.
    Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    Not infrequently, we encounter copies of important human beings; and here, too, as in the case of paintings, most people prefer the copies to the originals.
